Older Gamers
I've been playing video games since the Atari 2600. That might give you an idea of how old I am. Are there any other gamers over 30 playing this game?

Well, my first console was a 2600 but the first one I played was my friend's Coleco. Then before my PS4, the last one I owned was a Sega CD. Yup. You youngsters can look that up, it was one of the stupidest consoles ever made - essentially a portable Genesis (or was it Dreamcast?) that could...wait for it...play CD's! It was greatly useful to me though, as I was on a tour in a new hotel room every night, so it served as both game console and stereo.
In middle and high school computer classes we had Vic 20s, C64s and Apple 2Es. I played a few Apple games like NORAD and Robot War after school but never liked programming on the Apple that much.
The Vic 20 had so little RAM. 4k expandable to 16k although it looked much like the C64, it's bigger, badder brother that of course had 64k RAM, a powerhouse! 😃
- I don't know if you guys have a 2nd and Charles store where you are, but they carry all of the classics. A lot of original unopened boxes, but mainly remade. As well as action figures, comics, etc. I will say this, some things better left in the past. I bought 'Monster Squad' and the one quote I remembered as a kid was the only cool thing in it. "Wolfmans got nards"
I'm 32 (turning 33 on Tuesday).
I have Atari, and I have played on the original XBOX. I use to play Socom 1 and 2 on PSP, and for PC I played the first Halo.
I'm not really much of a gamer.
I had a zx81 and zx spectrum (any older Brits out there will know what I'm talking about.) Still remember spending hours punching in coding from mags dedicated to those consoles. My zx81 had a massive 16k expansion pack. i was always jealous of my next door neighbor cos they had the c64.Skipped a few years of gaming before being reintroduced to it through the Sega genesis and have owned every mainstream console since.
Had a Commodore 64 also great in its day
